Love is so elusive but it's worth the effort once you find the key
Awakening to feel a touch and taste the sweetness won't come easily
So hold it gently in your hand or it might slip away into the night
Yes love is so elusive that it won't return once it's out of sight

Love is like a soft caress a fevered kiss a flame that burns your mind
A whispered promise telling you that you'll be leaving loneliness behind
A brief look at tomorrow like a dream or perhaps an answered prayer
Though love is so elusive there's not doubt about it once it's really there

So just reach out and touch it watch it grow from just a tiny little seed
Yes love is so elusive but it's everything in your life you really need

[ steel ]
Love is like a little bird that seems to feel the urge to fly away
Searching for the arms to hold it tenderly and make it want to stay
Love is like the petals from a rose just a fragile work of art
Yes love is so elusive but it's most content when nearest to your heart

So just reach out and touch it watch it grow...
Yes love is so elusive but it's everything in life you really need
